Budget At budget enactment: $400 million ongoing general fund cut fee increase to $36 per unit effective fall January mid-year actions: Additional cuts totaling $102 million Fee increase to $46, effective summer Effective ongoing cut of $385 million

Threats Apportionment shortfall from below projection student fees and property taxes Started as $179 million Now projected at $129 million (reduced by San Mateo becoming basic aid) Governor still proposes taking $116.1 million for redevelopment money expected in current year.

Balancing the General Fund $8.3 billion in cuts $5.6 billion in temporary tax revenues $2.8 billion in other revenues, and cash maneuvers

Compromise Tax Proposal The governors tax plan and the Millionaires Tax have combined to support a measure: on the November 6, 2012 ballot simple majority required raises sales tax by 0.25% from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016 raises personal income taxes on individuals > $250,000 from 2012 through 2018 tax years Old: $4.8b-$6.9b Compromise: $6.8b-$9b through Old: $5.5b-$6.9b Compromise: $5.4b-$7.6b Old: $3.1b-$3.4b Compromise: $5.4b-$7.6b Old: $0 Compromise: $5.4b-$7.6b Old: $0 Compromise: "lesser amounts"

Tax Measure Significant to Prop Funding Level: $56.6 billion

The New Budget Triggers If the tax measure fails, automatic budget cuts will occur. 90% of the cuts would be to schools and community colleges

Proposition 98 $2.6 billion GO Bond debt service. Govs Budget w/o Taxes $5.5 billion in automatic cuts to K- 12/CCC if taxes fail

Community College Scenarios Categorical Consolidation Both Scenarios $411.6 million $411.6 million $313.1 million deferral buy-back $313.1 million deferral buy-back Mandates block grant of $28/FTES Mandates block grant of $28/FTES Scenario A ~$300 million triggered cut ~$300 million triggered cut 6.4% workload reduction 6.4% workload reduction (-61,700 FTES) Mandates block grant of $28/FTES Mandates block grant of $28/FTES Scenario B

Technical Adjustments $341.2 million of funds are from expected redevelopment money $140.3 million ongoing revenue from redirection of tax increment to property taxes $200.9 one-time from a recovery of cash assets Community colleges would get to keep $16m as incentive to wind down redevelopment Increase in estimated fee revenue from the elimination of dollar of need ($15m)

Categorical Flexibility Basic Skills Student Financial Aid Admin EOPS CalWORKs Matriculation Academic Senate Equal Employment Opportunity Part-time Faculty Health Insurance Part-time Faculty Compensation Part-time Faculty Office Hours Fund for Student Success Economic Development Transfer Education and Articulation Child Care Tax Bailout Nursing Disabled Students Foster Care Education Telecommunications and Technology 15 categorical programs would be made flexible, to be used for any categorical or student service purpose 3 categorical programs would be restricted to current use

Thoughts We agree with the governors call for new revenue. Community colleges have been cut $809 million since , and have foregone 15.8% in cost-of-living adjustments. Tax measure would restore Prop. 98 to funding levels in The manipulation of Prop. 98 by adding general obligation bond service may be unconstitutional and is a sleight-of- hand cut to schools/CCC. We continue to think that a positive trigger of some investment with tax proceeds in is good from both political and policy perspectives. While increased flexibility should be explored, the wholesale consolidation of categoricals this year is not a good idea.

Budget Risks Tax measure is politically uncertain and costly. Revenues are highly variable, with or without tax measure. Planning will be difficult. Workload reduction of 6% will be decided in November. Redevelopment funds may not materialize in either the current ($116.1m) or budget years ($341.2m) Student fee shortfall with more BOG waivers as fees go to $46/unit. Enrollment declines possible in some districts, particularly rural colleges with a proposal to triple neighboring state student fees to $138/unit.

Next Steps Sample letter to legislators available tomorrow Sample revised resolution available tomorrow Advocacy materials will be developed to present facts on tax proposal to community organizations
